Dayton’s Best Local Coffee Shops

I’m always up for a good coffee, but especially now as the weather is turning colder, there is something incredibly comforting about cozying up with a good cup! Whether meeting an old friend or trying to catch up on work, a good local coffee shop is such a comforting place to me. Since my crazy busy days in grad school, it was easier to just stop at the nearest Starbucks for a quick pick-me-up on the go, and while I still love to stop in every now and again, lately I’ve been having fun trying out some new shops.

Boston Stoker

Main St, Centerville
Located in an old bank, the inside is bright, warm, and fun. It has a great energy, especially if you’re there to work. Whether you’re getting a coffee or a non-caffeinated beverage, you can’t go wrong!

Tastefully Roasted

Oakwood Ave, Dayton
This classic coffee shop has comfortable seating for you to settle into while you enjoy your drink. It was the perfect place to catch up with an old friend (not too loud to hear) and appreciate their works of coffee art.

EPIC Coffee Shoppe

Stroop Rd, Kettering
I loved the modern look, but comfortable feel of this place. It had a bright, airy feel, and very friendly staff. With multiple seating areas and some amazing brews, I could spend all day in this place!

St. Anne The Tart

1500 E 5th St, Dayton
Technically a bakery, but what’s a good pastry without some amazing coffee? They’re constantly varying their offerings and you can’t go wrong with any of them. Try one of their homemade pop-tarts with a cup o’joe and it’ll definitely brighten your day!
